Stylish Story (in pictures): The Vegas, un-drunk. Episode I.

February 3, 2011

As you probably read, we went to Las Vegas for personal reasons last week. But while we were there, we escaped obligations and managed to make it a couple’s get-away by going on as many dates as we could.

Brunch at La Creperie, one of my favorite eateries in Las Vegas, purely because they serve savory crepes.

Taking an afternoon drive out to the mountains, I was surprised (and also not really surprised at the same time) to see snow.

We only spent about an hour and a half in Red Rock Canyon one afternoon, but that was long enough to shoot several hundred photos.
I was transfixed by this tree for some reason.
I’ve come to the conclusion that my little Leica Panasonic Lumix LX5 takes pretty decent photos, despite being only a semi-manual camera. The flash could be a little less blue, though. It’s very, very blue, even with tint correction in Aperture, it’s still really blue.

We were also able to escape obligations to eat a very, very late dinner somewhere along the canals of The Venetian.

FOOD.

The Ladies’ Toilets in this restaurant: each toilet stall had its own gilded mirror and glass sink. You know a place is classy if there are full-service stalls in the washrooms. Like Saks 5th, but without the overt animal cruelty, and the unabashed snobbery floating about the hallways.

Ployy B. Blossom Bag looks amazing in this low light, doesn’t she?

The atrium in the “mall” in The Palazzo.

And the honest truth of it is, it’s easy to get away from personal obligations when you are staying in your own hotel, and away from the drunken bustle of the strip.
